Phone was working fine until it randomly went into a reboot loop (not getting past HTC logo) eventually it booted up and all was fine then the boot loop started again and now the power button doesn't work and it still reboots randomly but doesn't loop.

If your power button is broken then this might cause the bootloop. You'll probably need to send your phone for repair.
If you boot in bootloader mode, does the phone still reboot by itself?

Yup, Can I repair it myself or do I have to go the htc route?

you proably want to send it to HTC. The M7 is not really DIY unless you have some really good skills with micro electronics. Many ppl here tried to repair by themselves but some ended with a broken device or with something else not working after reassembling the phone. (i.e screen not turning one, problem with speakers etc etc..)

Hi Everyone;
I unlocked my phone for flashing custom rom. After unlocking i reebooted it and was normal. Then i flashed cwm via htc one toolkit. It was successfull as well. Then i go to cwm and made factory reset + wipe cache + dalvik cache. Then i go to install zip from sd card but i could not find my rom file. Thought, it was deleted while unlocking device. Then decided to reboot phone again to copy rom file into the phone and reboot.
But, when i rebooted phone from cwm, it stuck on HTC Logo( Quietly Brilliant screen). Waited sometime, but nothing happened. Then i tried to power off it and boot into bootloader or recovery. I press and hold power button but it does not respond anyhow. When i am holding power button ,back and home buttons are blinking but nothing happens. Almost five minutes i waited as holding down power button but phone does not power off anyhow. i tried all methods like vol down + power, vol up + power and both volume keys + power. But really nothing happens, just blinking back and home buttons. That's all.
I can not simply power off device. :crying:
I also tried boot device via fastboot commands but it says "waiting for device" means computer does not recognize device.
Guys, i need an urgent help. Please...
just keep trying to reboot via holding power or power+vol down. if it doesnt reboot after 30 sec or so let go then try again. if that doesnt work you will have to wait for the battery to die. once you get to bootloader use all in one toolkit to erace cache. then boot to recovery and you rom should be there if not boot back to bootloader and sideload rom

First thank you for your quick reply. Unfortunatelly, power+vol down does not work at all. Maybe i tried 50 times.
Anyhow, after battery die. How can i boot into bootloader. I mean, can phone be charged again in this situation? Also, even if i manage to boot into bootloader or recovery how can i put custom rom file into phone. Actually, i did not use sideload or whatever you mentioned before.
I am serouisly confused now and don't know what to do.
Anyhow, as you said, firlst i need wait to battery die i think. Then i will report back whats happen.
Thank you again btw.

yes your not the first person with this problem. hold power+vol down to get into bootloader. press power button in bootloader to get in fast boot mode. use all in one toolkit to erase cache and side load rom. i recommend all in one toolkit because it automates the process. just select the option then follow on screen steps
Good to hear that i am not the first person That means somehow there is a solution i beleive. Still waiting for battery die. even i had 50 percent battery at the begining but still it holds on I never say again htc battery is bad
I exeprienced that stucking on boot logo several times before with my other htc phones but holding power + vol down/up worked always. This is the first time for me that i faced with power button can not power off device.. Well, ,i hope i wish i can handle out this problem. Definetley with your help.
Regards,
I am having the same problem and don't know what to do :crying:
Today I just got my One. Unlocked bootloader, rooted, flashed Android Revolution rom. Everything worked fine for a while... I wanted to reinstall the rom because I wanted to change some options in the installer - I did not wipe because it was the same rom (big mistake I guess!!). After making the installation option changes, when it was done it proceeded to reboot but now I am stuck in a white HTC logo boot loop hell... (with the red text at the bottom that says "this build is for development purposes only" etc). Holy crap I never had a phone that I could not remove the battery. I cannot get this back into recovery or ANYTHING, it just keeps looping... computer recognizes it, no problem with drivers or anything it just doesn't stay connected long enough (because of the constant looping) to be able to use the toolkit.
PLEASE any advice?? Can't even shut it down omg. Do I have a $600 brick here? :crying::crying:

Did you read the other posts in this thread? The way you do a "battery pull" on this phone is to HOLD the PWR + VOL DOWN button for ~15seconds. Your capactivie buttons will blink, too. On my device, it took exactly 15seconds to reboot. There have been some reports of some phones that get so stuck that you just have to wait until the battery dies and charge it back up.
Alternatively, if the computer is recongizing it, try to adb reboot recovery to try and get into the recovery.

no. if it turns on you should be ok. try holdind power+vol down to get into bootloader then try toolkit if it just stays on waiting for device press power button to get into fastboot mode from bootloader

hi again. this morning my battery finally out. Then i put my phone to the charger and started it in fastboot mode( that is a good new) Then i left it for 20-30 minutes to charge a little bit for flashing custom rom.Then i went to recovery and started adb sideload. Sideload was succesful and finally came to aroma installer of trickdroid. I chose my installation options and started to flash rom but process was frozen on 10 percent. It was saying unmount system, unmount cahce and both of them has notification as "already unmounted". But installation was not going on. Then again i tried to go back fasboot mode again by press and holding power+vol down but unfortunatelly lights are blinking but nothing happens again. I think i need to wait to battery die again.
Isn't it quite weird? Why power+vol down combination does not work for me anytime? So, do i need to wait for battery die in every frozen? Do you have any ideas or comments ?
Do i need to go back to stock first ?
EDIT : Battery was out again and i tried once more. This time installation (trick droid) was successful but it frozen at the end this time. And unfortunatelly i can not restart (power+vol down) it again again Holy crap, i am really pissed off with this problem.
O..K...Finally, i managed to start my phone and now it works... Especially thank you skinsfanbdh for your support.
But still i don't know how to solve button configuration problem. But anyhow i think i won't need quite sometim to use it I hope someone can find a solution for that later.
Guide me with steps please

Hey Everyone,
Randomly woke up to my phone stuck in a bootloop. Im running Insertcoin 4.3 Sense edition, but I did try flashing GPE 4.4 without any luck. Reflashed the 4.3 and had no issues last night. Then this morning my phone entered this bootloop I cant get out of. I cant enter recovery do to the loop and when I get into the H-Boot menu it resets itself in like 4 seconds and enters the boot loop again. Its not enough time for me to get into fast boot to push anything though adb.
Any suggestions or am I screwed?

sounds like the Power button is messed up/stuck, maybe?

restart your phone with holding volume down than press and hold the power button. your button lights should light up. once you boot into h boot screen hit the fastboot selection as fast as you can. if you got into the fastboot try running this command with ADB.
fastboot erase cache
if that still doesn't work try
fastboot erase userdata
good luck let me know how it goes!

ding ding ding!!! Turns out letting a child put your phone near your mouth will mess up the power button. After putting it in front of my wood stove for 15 minutes it was working again.

I had a similar problem with my phone.
What I did was instead of trying to get into recovery, I just went to fastboot and flashed the recovery image again and it work.
You may want to try that. (Flash the custom recovery again).
He cant do that, dont try flash recovery, your bootloader is locked, it wont work.
Hold volume down and power button, you will see home and back flash at the bottom, just keep holding till your phone goes off, then hold then volume down only as the phone restarts, should take you into the bootloader.
What did you do to get it stuck in a boot loop ?

I seem to have a similar issue. The problem is that I do not have enough time to select recovery (nor any other option) from the bootloader menu. The phone reboots again before I can choose and confirm my selection. Any pointers?

You have bootloop in the bootloader? If yes then you have a serious problem, probably hard bricked.
Hey there guys
today, my brother's phone had a weird problem, he was using it and the battery reached 14% (normal battery warning....meh....ignored ) then after two minutes the device suddenly got to 10% (another warning), then it died on its own in a few seconds.
he charged it for about 5 minutes and the charging animation thing said it was already at 20% (weird if you ask me) (using my LG G2 charger which is 1.8 amps) so he tried to power it on, and sure enough it did power on but to the white HTC bootloader screen, with a purple "locked" text at the top (attached image), now I haven't had any experience with HTC phones but I'm very familiar with recoveries and stuff with samsung phones, but this one refuses to do anything, only the volume up button works for selecting items, but you can't go back with the volume down, nor can you select anything with the power button, you're basically stuck just shifting through the items.
I tried powering it on and off several times and the same thing even when the battery is at 70%
phone is International unlocked 4.4.2 and fully stock, no root, no nothing, haven't even gone into recovery before today and was only updated via OTA a couple of months ago with no problems what so ever.
anyway any one got an idea what might have caused this?!
thanks guys
Try to click on fastboot & connect it pc
fastboot erase cache
If not you're still in warranty so don't panic go to service center

Thanks for your reply, but the power button does nothing, I can't click on any of them, it says press power to select, but I can't select anything
and no, it's not under warranty sadly.

ok your phone not in warranty but you not rooted it software unchanged so HTC will flash your software with minimal charge
Unlocked boot loader phone they usually change motherboard & charge much
If you can't get in fastboot it maybe very difficult some one can help you here
So try service center at least once

Thanks mate, sadly, where I live there aren't any HTC official service centers, I was hoping I could solve it on my own
Like I said, I only know my way around samsung devices, haven't even gotten the chance to play with my G2 yet, so could you tell me what the RUU is? is it like the bootloader files? and can I get into recovery or fastboot via any other way? flash stuff using a PC Flash tool maybe???
Actually the problem was very simple, the volume down button was stuck for some reason (actually I accidentally dropped the device from my hand 2 days ago) so that is why the device booted into hboot it seems and that is why I was unable to choose anything with the power button, I removed the volume buttons and cleaned it and now everything works.
Many thanks for your time my friend.
Your good luck !!
RUU is same as pc flashing tool which works own it contains full software Rom for phone

Hi,
my Phone restarted spontaneously today and is now stuck in a bootloop. I tried to turn it off by holding the power button but that didn't work. Even when I enter the bootloader, the phone continues rebooting all the time. I only see the white htc screen for a second and then the device reboots again and again, until the battery is empty.
I didn't flash anything new before this happened. The device worked pretty well with CM 12.1 for a long time.
Is there a change to repair this? Is it a hardware issue?
